ignoring the 'mains'...... my quick thought...

the following are those details that make the day !

approx (or based on my typing) inc fitting

shortshifter £150 (i think?)

Strut Brace £250, yes. ! even for a C2S !

sort out the geomentry.. a few more notes, £2-300 ? unsure...

Zymol Glasure kit... £200 and loads of elbow crease !

so that's a grand already...

Becker Traffic Pro High Speed 7840 (in built Sat Nav).. £500 to keep the interest inside and help those tunes along...

£500 for a pair of track days and the petrol to boot !

with enough left over for a 911uk curry night next Sunday out of SW London/M25 !

Keep the £ till you have the next service / year, just in case you need it for something unexpected, unless you've got that sorted already. Then spend it on suspension, and some track days. Alternatively you can use some of it to buy us all the curry & drinks next wk on the curry night!!

Mike,

Check that things like the clutch have been replaced, then go out and get yourself some Bilstein HD's or B6's (both the same but called B6 in the UK) from Carnewal and H&R springs. Even if you don't think the dampers need changing, they will as they are basically rubbish, soft dampers, harsh springs do not give a good ride.

I have fitted a strut brace but to be truthful have not noticed as big a difference as I have in previous Porsche models. And also as Sundeep says get yourself off to a good indie and get a 4 wheel laser alignment which could cost up to about £250 as you charged by the hour usually.

Polish, you make up your own mind, but remember you are putting it on to a surface that has been sealed ........................................ :wink:

Guys

I think your taking the wrong approach. I would say decent tyres and driver training.All of these cars are more capable than 99% of us, so if we improve ourselves the car gets better....

Agree with Sean, come join us next wk! :lol:

I'd still look into the shocks though. I remmember last yr, my first time out in Bedford with original shocks and 2yr old tyres. The car was all over the place, that's when I spun the car with the instructor in! Next track day on the same track with new shocks, alignment and new set of P-Zero, the car was so much more predictable and I didn't spin once and was going much faster. I doubt my driving had improved that much in that short period of time!

I agree with Sean- I have spent about £2k on advanced driver training over the years, and can honestly say it has given me more enjoyment of my cars than any amount I have spent on car mods. Plus it is transferrable...

Initially, have it well checked over and serviced by a good specialist to see if there are any outstanding issues. Get the chassis geometry checked and changed if required. Once the car is in peak condition, drive it for a while and see what you feel it needs. Do the mods bit by bit so you can appreciate the contribution they are making.
